Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50

<span>The quadrilateral ABCD have vertices at points A(-6,4), B(-6,6), C(-2,6) and D(-4,4).
</span>
<span>Translating 10 units down you get points A''(-6,-6), B''(-6,-4), C''(-2,-4) and D''(-4,-6).
</span>
Translaitng <span>8 units to the right you get points A'(2,-6), B'(2,-4), C'(6,-4) and D'(4,-6) that are exactly vertices of quadrilateral A'B'C'D'.

To start break even they need to sell 100 but if they want to make profit they need to sell 101 because you can use the equation y = .75x - 55
